I've always loved this silly card. It belonged to my maternal grandmother. I love the illustration style, the colors, and the handlettering. I know nothing about the artist, which is a shame. It was so rare that a post card artist was given credit. Of course, the two I showed yesterday...don't really care. But this one I'd like to know about the person and I'd like to see more of their silly cards.

This one was also printed by the Metropolitan Lithograph Company, the company responsible for the two I showed yesterday. The card includes the logo of the "M" in a circle. On this one no publisher is indicated. I'd say this one dates to the mid-to-late 1940s.
If anyone has any cards that look like they might be by the same artist I'd love to see them.

She's fabulous! I agree, the colors and the artistry in this one is very nice. I aspire to look like her...oh well.
ReplyDeleteYes, she has a nice Andrew's Sister vibe going on.
ReplyDeleteI'd certainly kill for a waist like that but I don't think I would marry the driver.
ReplyDeleteI'll pass the image on to my card collecting friend.
ReplyDeleteRosie, I think the driver got what was needed. A knuckle sandwich. Do people say that anymore? Probably not.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave. Let me know if your friend has anything that looks similar in style.
